  • Rare Condition Gives Toddler Super Powers

    Liam Hoekstra is ripped.  Liam Hoekstra is 19 months old. "He's hungry for a full meal about every hour because of his rapid metabolism," Dana Hoekstra said. "He's already eating me out of house and home."  Liam's adoptive parents face a real challenge dealing with his Myostatin-related muscle hypertrophy, essentially a super-fast metabolism. 

    As if toddlers weren't difficult and hungry enough.  If toddlers don't maintain sufficient body fat, brain growth can be negatively impacted.  But the Hoekstras have an admirable attitude. They view their son as a miracle boy and are grateful for every minute they have with him.

    Guess I'll stop complaining about my kids and their frequent eating ways.
